Brian May Teases That New Queen Material “Could Happen”

In a new interview with MOJO, Queen’s Brian May expressed the possibility of the celebrated rock band releasing their first new single in 30 years. “I think it could happen,” May said. “Both Roger [Taylor] and I are constantly writing and coming up with ideas and doing things in our studios. I could have the beginnings of a Queen song right there in front of me now. It’s just whether the idea reaches maturity or not.” Speaking with Uncut in 2024, Taylor said, “Brian and myself were talking the other day, and we both said that if we feel we have some good material, why not? We can still play. We can still sing. So I don’t see why not.” Queen’s last album, Made in Heaven, was released in 1995 after the passing of frontman Freddie Mercury. In 2022, the band shared a rediscovered track called “Face It Alone” that featured Mercury’s vocals. In 2011, Queen began performing live again with Adam Lambert as their lead vocalist.
